This interview is fascinating and such a wonderful public service -- and he answered my question in the first few seconds when he explained that the vulcanism in Iceland comes from plate spreading and not a hotspot. But really -- this is a wonderful, incredibly useful interview. At times like this, trustworthy information based in good science is golden.

@bjarnisigurdsson1911

It's probably an 80/20 split the spreading vs magma plume(hotspot). Iceland wouldn't exist without the plume and the crust here is thinner than many other places because of it. We have a few volcanos listed as dormant but potentially active on the island that aren't on the faultline and if/when they blow it'll be 100% due to the plume. Same would apply if Yellowstone erupts. In geology class we were asked, when a balloon pops, is it due to pressure or weakness in the rubber. Both contribute to the pop.

Her question about the Iceland activity being connected to New Zealand (and now Hawaii) activity was spot on. Earth's rotation has been speeding up with record speeds nearly every month. This is causing the Earth's crust to shift. This is causing increased earthquakes and volcanic activity. This is connected to the escalating speed of the magnetic pole reversal.
